- 1
When multiplying decimals, the first step is to remove the decimals from the problem and multiply as if they were whole numbers.
- 2
After multiplying, count the total number of digits to the right of the decimals in the original problem to determine where to place the decimal in the answer.
- 3
In the example 5.21 x 3.8, there are three digits to the right of the decimals, so the answer will also have three digits to the right of the decimal.
